The Official SmackDown Discussion Thread

Friday Night SmackDown has been a staple of WWE TV for over a decade and has been seen as the natural second to the flagship show; Raw. However, many have seen SmackDown as the "wrestling" show, while Raw provides the "entertainment". Loosely translated? SmackDown gives you quality action, Raw gives you the belly laughs and big stories... And for the most part, that could be seen as true, Since moving to SyFy, SmackDown has taken a turn towards the bizarre to cater to the channel's core audience, but while that is currently dominating the Main Event, the undercard is flourishing with talents such as Rey Mysterio, Alberto Del Rio, Dolph Ziggler, Kaval, Jack Swagger and Kofi Kingston tearing it up in the ring.

Tune in every Friday night and let us know what you think about it in here.

Anyone seen the show yet? The final segment with Edge and Kane was such amazing wrestlecrap. Edge just witnesses someone dying (presumably?) and just goes "I told you so" with a goofy face on. Perversely entertaining for all the wrong reasons.

I'm lost for words at this storyline now. Simply speechless at how badly it's gone.

It's not Katie Vick bad, but its the worst main event storyline since then.

Re: The Official SmackDown Discussion Thread

It was alright, there was some rubbish like the Hornswoggle/Swagger Eagle thing, but there's enough good stuff to enjoy the show. Nothing really standout though.

Cody Rhodes was truly amazing trying the Masterlock challenge.

"Dashing" Cody Rhodes is truly amazing in everything he does.

That's pretty disappointing though. I thought Kaval/Swagger, the tag match with Chavo, Ziggler/Kofi, and the main event would all be at least solid. And I fucking love the Swagger Soaring Eagle so I'll probably like that more than you did.

They're all solid matches, don't worry about that. Not must see or great, but definitely solid and nothing bad about them. I did miss most of Kaval/Swagger though, but the bits I saw were really good.

Dashing Cody Rhodes could well be the most entertaining wrestler of 2010. I'm so happy, because once upon a time I thought he was the most bland, unentertaining guy on the roster. I might have to make a Cody Rhodes signature now.

I can imagine if you like the Swagger Eagle you'll love the Hornswoggle segment then.

Yeah, there was a time when I'd refer to Rhodes as Default CAW #4. Ever since the last few months of Legacy (specifically the DX feud, I think) I've thought really highly of him. Especially now with the "Dashing" Cody Rhodes gimmick, he's been pure gold.

I have a "Dashing" Cody Rhodes folder. I'm obsessed.

With how weak the main event scene on Smackdown is, I hope he can at least get in the title picture at some point.
